Bath re-enamelling in Knowle, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Knowle. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Knowle?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Knowle
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Solihull?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Knowle. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
